Wow awesome!!! Big fan of your old flock especially Raven juniors. Mr beast lookin awesome as well. All of them taken good car of too. Cant wait to see the new loft at your new estate.
Kurt, well done... But mate your friend has got to get them to trap better, time lost, can make a BIG difference, to your placing, especially on short sprint races !!! :-))
Never heard of this until today. I'm curious, you said the race was 130km. That's roughly 80 miles for us Americans. That's pretty far. What is the success rate of birds making it back "home" or whereever it's trained to come back. Do all of them make it back 100% of the time or no?
Great videos awesome birds. What was the distance that the birds had to race from point a to finish line. Haha just as I hit the send button. You mentioned the distance.
Very good, my advise get the birds that are lingering on the loft. and no birds should be out except maybe a dropper, even a dropper , should be inside and go, once your bird arrives home. lingering birds , you loose time.. should trap, dont over feed birds, until the race is over. If your birds dont trap fast , one? you may have over feed them prior to the race, or the driver may have over feed , if he did prior to release. Remember a sense of urgency to trap is what you want .. Randy Barnes , Crossview lofts, San Diego, ca.
It's like this... On day of race no other birds should be let out to even loft fly.. keep them in then let them out after the race .. not just for his own race bird but for others.. if his birds are loft flying they could distract other people's race birds returning... It's is frowned upon here to loft fly while a race is going
Hi Kurt, JJ from Arizona here. Is that the Grizzle you hand raised when Raven went missing? He looks beautiful, same with Leo x Storm's baby. I can see Leo in him. Great video.
Nice community ... is his community under community association rules on having pigeon loft ... you both need to invest in a Benzing time clock ... lose valuable time when you need to hand clock bird in ... yes, post your finale race sheet ... how did manog get to live out there in Australia ... 😉
I love birds very much but here in India, people fly kites the string of which gets entangled in tree branches or electric wires, birds get trapped in these strings and die a slow painful death. I wish and pray kite flying is banned in our India and is declared a punishable offence.
